Rhodes just blew a tire there
Also, wtf wasRodgers doing on second down? He had the back open 5 yards downfield for the first.

This board would fucking melt down about how Brady sucks if he missed that throw in that situation.
+1.
And Rodgers also missed a third down pass at the end of the game last week too.
Brady would have hit the RB on 2nd down and it wouldn't have gone that far.
That onside kick was so stupid. Now Minnesota can kick a FG or go for it on 4th down if they need to.
Under the new rules? I don’t know. But having one 4th and long to get the ball back is just stupid. Why not have a pie eating contest?
He had Aaron Rodgers all those years and won only 1 SB.
Entirely fair.
Don Shula had Dan Marino all those years, no salary cap constraints, was as powerful as BB and won no SBs with him. The one Marino reached. — they got poleaxed.

It's not the onside kick that the rule change was for. It was for kickoffs in general. The problem you can't really have two sets of rules, one for onside, and one for regular kickoffs, unless you now expect teams to announce that they are going onside. (although I bet most teams would be fine announcing they are going onside if it meant they could do it under the old rules)
I heard it during the week leading up to the Pats game, and I can't remember if it was on tv, or on sports radio. I'm guessing it was tv, but I forget.
I tried to do some research, but got bored, but I couldn't find any come from behind wins by Aaron against good teams.
Trailing 20-3 against the Bears in Week 1 entering the 4th Quarter. Won 24-23. I assume this does not show up in the stat until the Bears win their 9th game this season so the stat is valid for at least 7 more days.
And if I remember that game correctly, Rodgers threw what should have been a brutal game-ending interception that was dropped by Fuller.
That may have been one of the easiest interceptions that was dropped all year so far.
Edit - but Rodgers was great in that second half and the final drive was also great (after the dropped interception).

But in 2007 they lost the Divisional, and in 1997 they lost the Wildcard. I think that means in 2027 they lose the Super Bowl.
I heard this AM Rodgers is 0-37 when trailing by more than 1 point in the 4th qtr to teams with winning records.
here's a similar cite from Jan '17, looks like the original research was Scott Kacsmar @ FO.

The old John Harbaugh move.
This is weak on “Tom’s” part (reference to Francesa).
The team is gutless, and Jalen Ramsey is OBJ south.

The Hackett firing is fascinating to me. He received a lot of praise when the Jags scored 45 points on the Steelers in the division round and for his first half game plan against the Pats in the AFC Championship game last year. He is obviously getting blamed for Bortles not becoming an adequate QB. I wonder if he was ordered to call all those 4th quarter runs last week vs the Steelers. Seems like the fall guy.
